The nickel sulfide concentrate according to the embodiment of the present invention is provided by Qinghai yellow river mining company, and the main components and the phase analysis of the nickel sulfide concentrate are shown in tables 1 and 2.
Table 1: main metal component of nickel sulfide concentrate
Table 2: full element semi-quantitative analysis (XRF) of nickel sulfide concentrate
Treating the nickel sulfide concentrate by adopting an ultra-fine grinding-oxygen pressure leaching process to obtain a nickel sulfide concentrate leaching solution:
step one, size mixing: and mixing the nickel sulfide concentrate with water for size mixing to form nickel sulfide concentrate slurry with the concentration of 25%.
Step two, fine grinding: placing the nickel sulfide concentrate slurry into a ball mill for ball milling to form ultra-fine milled nickel sulfide concentrate; wherein, the ball milling time is 6min, and the mass ratio of the ore material with the granularity of below 400 meshes of the superfine grinding nickel sulfide concentrate is more than 90 percent.
Step three, leaching: placing the superfine grinding nickel sulfide concentrate into a reaction furnace, adding a sulfuric acid solution with the concentration of 50g/L as a leaching solution, and introducing oxygen with the pressure of 1.4Mpa into the sulfuric acid solution to leach metal elements in the superfine grinding nickel sulfide concentrate; wherein the solid-to-liquid ratio of the superfine grinding nickel sulfide concentrate to the sulfuric acid solution is 200g/L, the leaching temperature is 110 ℃, and the leaching time is 300 min.
And after the leaching reaction of the superfine grinding nickel sulfide concentrate is finished, filtering the superfine grinding nickel sulfide concentrate to obtain a nickel sulfide concentrate leaching solution, wherein the concentrations of iron, nickel, cobalt and copper in the nickel sulfide concentrate leaching solution are 31.5g/L (0.563mol/L), 17.2g/L (0.29mol/L), 0.61g/L (0.01mol/L) and 2.94g/L (0.0459mol/L), respectively.
Example 2: influence of addition amount of reduced iron powder on iron removal process
Step one, adding reduced iron powder to the nickel sulfide concentrate leachate obtained in example 1 to reduce copper ions in the leachate, so that the copper ions are replaced in the form of copper sponge, reducing the iron ions in the leachate to ferrous ions, and after the reduction reaction is completed, filtering to remove the copper sponge precipitate.
Step two, oxidizing the nickel sulfide concentrate leaching solution subjected to reduction treatment by adopting a microbubble oxidation method to generate goethite type precipitates: heating the reduced leachate to 80 ℃, and introducing oxygen into the leachate to oxidize ferrous ions in the leachate into iron ions, and further hydrolyzing the iron ions to generate goethite type precipitates, wherein the gas flow rate of introducing the oxygen into the leachate is 1L/min, and the reaction time is 480 min.
And step three, filtering the leachate after the reaction in the step two is finished so as to remove the precipitate in the leachate.
And under the conditions, the influence of the addition of the reduced iron powder on the goethite process iron removal process of the nickel sulfide concentrate leachate is examined. Fig. 2 is a graph showing the relationship between the amount of iron powder added and the concentration of copper ions in the process of reducing and replacing copper ions by reduced iron powder in the leachate of nickel sulfide concentrate, and the experimental results obtained under the above conditions are shown in fig. 2.
As can be seen from fig. 2, when the amount of iron powder added is such that the concentration of reduced iron powder in the leachate of nickel sulfide concentrate reaches 3.0g/L or more, the concentration of copper ions in the solution is greatly reduced, so the amount of iron powder added in the solution of the present invention is such that the concentration of reduced iron powder in the leachate of nickel sulfide concentrate is preferably 3.0g/L to 5.0 g/L; when the addition amount of the iron powder is such that the concentration of the reduced iron powder in the nickel sulfide concentrate leachate is 3.88g/L, the concentration of copper ions in the solution is reduced from 2940mg/L to 3ppm, at this time, the copper ions in the leachate can be removed completely theoretically, the addition amount of the iron powder is increased continuously, and the concentration of the copper ions is basically unchanged, so the addition amount of the reduced iron powder is selected to be the optimum concentration of the reduced iron powder in the nickel sulfide concentrate leachate of 3.88 g/L.
Example 3: influence of pH during the reaction on the iron removal process
Step one, adding reduced iron powder into the nickel sulfide concentrate leachate obtained in example 1 to reduce copper ions in the leachate, so that the copper ions are replaced in the form of copper sponge, reducing the iron ions in the leachate into ferrous ions, and after the reduction reaction is finished, filtering to remove the copper sponge precipitate; wherein the addition amount of the reduced iron powder is such that the concentration of the reduced iron powder in the nickel sulfide concentrate leachate is 3.88 g/L.
Step two, oxidizing the nickel sulfide concentrate leaching solution subjected to reduction treatment by adopting a microbubble oxidation method to generate goethite type precipitates: heating the reduced leachate to 80 ℃, and introducing oxygen into the leachate to oxidize ferrous ions in the leachate into iron ions, and hydrolyzing the iron ions to generate goethite type precipitates; wherein the gas flow of oxygen introduced into the leaching solution is 1L/min, and the reaction time is 480 min.
And step three, filtering the leachate after the reaction in the step two is finished so as to remove the precipitate in the leachate.
And under the conditions, the influence of the pH value in the reaction process on the goethite deironing process of the nickel sulfide concentrate leaching solution is examined. Fig. 3 is a graph showing the relationship between the pH and the ion removal rate of each metal ion in the leachate during the reaction process of producing the goethite-type precipitate by the microbubble oxidation method, and the experimental results obtained under the above conditions are shown in fig. 3.
As can be seen from fig. 3, as the pH of the reaction increases from 1.5 to 3, the removal efficiency of iron ions in the nickel sulfide concentrate leachate increases from 36.5% to 92%, and the concentration of nickel ions and cobalt ions in the leachate is basically unchanged, and the ion removal rate is close to 0 and remains unchanged. When the pH of the reaction is further increased to 5, the removal efficiency of iron ions is substantially maintained, but the ion removal rate of nickel ions and cobalt ions is sharply increased, and the ion loss rate thereof is sharply increased. This is due to Fe2+Oxidation rate of [ H ]+]0.25Inversely proportional, Fe in solution with increasing pH2+Accelerated oxidation of ions, Fe3+The number of the hydrolyzed precipitates of the ions is increased, and the iron removal efficiency is obviously improved; however, when the pH is 5, Fe is generated by oxidation because the pH is too high3+The ion concentration is more than 1g/L, resulting in Fe3+Rapidly precipitate and form Fe (OH)3The colloid adsorbs a large amount of nickel ions and cobalt ions, resulting in a sharp increase in the loss rate of nickel ions and cobalt ions. Therefore, when the goethite method is adopted for removing iron, the pH value in the reaction process of controlling the microbubble oxidation method to generate goethite type precipitates is optimally controlled to be 3-4.
Example 4: optimized technological condition of goethite method iron removal technology of nickel sulfide concentrate leachate

Step two, oxidizing the nickel sulfide concentrate leaching solution subjected to reduction treatment by adopting a microbubble oxidation method to generate goethite type precipitates: heating the reduced leachate to 80 ℃, and introducing oxygen into the leachate to oxidize ferrous ions in the leachate into ferric ions, and hydrolyzing the ferric ions to generate goethite type precipitates, wherein the gas flow of introducing the oxygen into the leachate is 1L/min, the reaction time is 480min, and the pH value in the reaction process is 3.

And filtering the leachate to obtain iron slag precipitate and nickel sulfide concentrate leachate, wherein the content of iron in the nickel sulfide concentrate leachate is 0.012 g/L.
The iron slag obtained after filtering the nickel sulfide concentrate leaching solution is subjected to XRF full-element semi-quantitative analysis, and the XRF full-element semi-quantitative analysis result of the iron slag is shown in Table 3.
Table 3: full element semi-quantitative analysis of iron slag (XRF)
As is clear from Table 3, the main elements in the iron slag were Fe (65.7%), O (31.3%) and S (1.90%), and the other elements were Ni, Co, Si, Al, Cl, Ca, etc.
Further, an ICP-OES inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometer was used to perform quantitative analysis on the iron slag, and the results of quantitative analysis of the main metal elements in the iron slag and analysis of the leachate components are shown in table 4.

As can be seen from table 4, the Fe content in the iron slag can reach 55.9%, the iron slag can be sold as iron ore directly, and the Ni and Co contents are only 0.23% and 0.03%. The concentrations of Fe, Ni and Co in the nickel sulfide concentrate leachate without iron removal by the goethite method are respectively 31.5g/L, 17.2g/L and 0.61g/L, and after iron removal is carried out on the nickel sulfide concentrate leachate by the goethite method, the concentrations of Fe, Ni and Co in the nickel sulfide concentrate leachate are respectively 0.012g/L, 16.38g/L and 0.607g/L, at the moment, the iron removal rate in the nickel sulfide concentrate leachate reaches more than 99%, the loss of nickel is less than 3%, and the cobalt is almost free of loss.
FIG. 4 is an X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern of the iron slag, and it can be seen from FIG. 4 that the iron slag obtained by the above process is a single-phase α -FeOOH.
According to the goethite process iron removal process for the nickel sulfide concentrate leachate, iron powder is added to reduce copper ions and iron ions in the nickel sulfide concentrate leachate, and on one hand, the iron powder can reduce and replace the copper ions in the leachate, and on the other hand, the iron ions in the leachate can be reduced into ferrous ions; the removal rate of iron in the nickel sulfide concentrate leachate can reach more than 99 percent by adopting a microbubble oxidation method to generate goethite type precipitate for iron removal, the loss of nickel is less than 3 percent, and the loss of cobalt is almost zero. Therefore, the process can efficiently remove the iron ions in the nickel sulfide concentrate leachate, solves the problem that the iron ions with higher concentration influence the recovery process flow and energy consumption of nickel, and also avoids the influence on the recovery of nickel and cobalt due to the large loss of nickel and cobalt in the iron removal process.
